Prayer is a central part of the daily lives of
our clergy, religious, and laity.

We are Liturgically Diverse

There is great diversity in the liturgical
life of the Celtic Christian Communion

Generally Relational

The people of the Celtic Christian Communion
share a strong common life, even as we are widely dispersed.

Dear Brothers and Sisters;

Míle fáilte

A thousand welcomes
in the name of Christ Jesus. You truly are welcome
here. A lot of Churches talk about being welcoming, but their reality is rather
selective. In the Celtic Christian Communion and the Ecumenical Order
of St. Columba, all people are truly welcome within our
communities. We take seriously the example of our divine teacher; Jesus Christ, who ate with and
ministered to tax collectors, prostitutes, ex-felons, and all sinners. The
Kingdom of God is not an exclusive club for one kind of person, but broad and
expansive place for all people of God. Simply put, because our divine teacher
and mediator Jesus Christ came
for all people; God loves and wants all people to come into fullness of life
and to act as an agent of healing and reconciliation through which all people are
exposed to the love that is Christ Jesus.

Another part of the true faith has to do with freedom - the freedom of people to
ask questions with , the freedom to be open to the will of God in your life, and the
freedom to be your authentic self this is sometime called the liberty of
conscience.

This is what it means to be a true ecumenical
Christian Communion. That means we are not here to tell you what to
believe, how to think, or how to act. We are here to help you as you seek to
find the answers to your questions and to walk with you on life's journey.

Of course, it is not enough to be an accepting communion. In fact, there is a
danger in being either accepting or exclusive. The danger is that we can become
so inwardly focused, that we become irrelevant. The Church was meant to be an
organization that works for the well-being of all people, perhaps most
especially those outside the walls of the Church. We are called to meet their
needs and to share the divine love with them, to welcome them home, and to work
for an end to injustice.

A
Church that does not care about and work for divine purpose in the world is, in
our view, not really a Church. And so, this communion and order forms a community of love and
respect within Christ Jesus, our divine teacher and mediator, no matter what
background the individual comes from - for nothing less will do.

To explain to you more about
our communion is let’s say we wholeheartedly embrace and affirm Celtic Christian thought and
practice, thus our name: the Celtic Christian Communion. Our members come from a
variety of backgrounds, including Catholic, Protestant, Anglican, and
Charismatic, and they can hold a variety of beliefs.

Ministerial pursuits are open
to all that seek out God within this communion through
priestly and ministerial ordination, but also through the evangelistic outreach,
jail ministries, music ministries, and missions world-wide, following
the Celtic way in Christ. We seek to reach the isolated,
the rejected, the lonely, and those who have been wounded by the institutional
church. This Communion which does not "shoot the wounded;" rather, we offer all
of these a haven and a home.

So for whatever reason, if you
have not found a home in a local congregation, jurisdiction or denomination, or if
you are simple seeking a loving, forgiving, accepting, and merciful fellowship,
then our communion may be just what you've been searching for. We invite you to
join us -- The Celtic Christian Communion ℠ -- on your
journey and pilgrimage.

Therefore we also, since we
are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race
that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith,
who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1,2 (NKJV)

*
Please note:
We are not the Celtic Christian Communion that existed during the 1990's,
our history comes out of different branch of the autocephalous catholic
movement. But we do share the same spirituality and desires of those churches
(Celtic Christian Church, Reformed Celtic Church, and others) that came out of
that communion and looked toward Christian Faith that was in the Celtic lands
prior to the Church of Rome forcing themselves on the Celts during the Synod of Whitby.

OUR
MOTTO

In essentials, unity. In nonessentials, liberty. In all things, love.

Humbly in
Christ Service;

Rev Bro. Thomas E. Mills, Bishop

The Celtic Christian Communion.
